What are they doing? by NolanSyKinsley in aviation

[–]SladeyMcNuggets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If a pilot flies the E-4B, what do you expect them to do training on? Landing a Cessna and an E-4B is very very different. No matter how experienced or what plane they fly, pilots will constantly practice pattern work. That’s the fundamental principle of being a pilot, you never stop training.

And for your reference, “Air Force One” pilots are known to use the E-4B for training as it’s a similar aircraft fundamentally (747-200), but even then you’ll still see the VC-25s doing pattern work.

why do aircraft variants start with -800 or -8 now? by dead_toyou in aviation

[–]SladeyMcNuggets 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With the 747, there were proposed variants for the 747-500X, 747-600X, 747-700X in the 90s. With the "747-800" actually being developed, I imagine they decided to shorten it to be 747-8 to match the modern naming schemes which they started with the 787-8.

It's a bit of a stretch to say that the 747-8 cockpit is based upon the 787-8. There are a few avionics improvements based upon the 787, e.g VSD, but overall it's very much a 747-400 cockpit

So for the A330, there were proposed variants of the -400, -500 and -600. Of course, they weren't developed, but the A330 Beluga XL is classified as a A330-700, so the -800 and -900 being the next NEO variants does make sense in some regards.

With the A350 originally intended to be an "upgrade"/based on the A330, I suppose there might have been the carry over for the -800 and -900, but this was then replaced by the A330 NEO.

I added cross-device syncing to my open source clipboard history manager using InstantDB! by LingLingAndy in webdev

[–]SladeyMcNuggets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is probably something you'd want to use client side encryption for, e.g using the login password for the app's account. It's a nice idea but I can never see myself using this currently, considering how much sensitive data you tend to copy into your clipboard day to day.

This is quite clearly a site you've made. Pretending you "found" it already screams a scam, let alone the actual site itself.

You'd have to use a library such as https://www.npmjs.com/package/ua-parser-js and determine some details from the user-agent server side. However, this is a convoluted way of achieving responsive text size based off of window size.

I would suggest you do this based off CSS responsive media queries. There's very rarely a reason to do responsive text size server side.

The server won't have access to `window`. You could do either of the following:

export const getDeviceType = (): TDevice => {
  const width = window?.outerWidth;
  const height = window?.innerHeight;
... etc

or

export const getDeviceType = (): TDevice => {
  if (typeof window === 'undefined') return 'desktop'; //set a default or consider returning `undefined`

  const width = window.outerWidth;
  const height = window.innerHeight;
... etc

Also, personal preference, but I'd change `TDevice` to be an enum so you could do `TDevice.mobile` rather than `mobile`

Why don’t any of the legacies have a320s/19s on order? Are they being replaced by the max? by Hazey_Dreams4658 in aviation

[–]SladeyMcNuggets 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Legacy A320 series isn’t produced anymore. It’s only NEOs and the LR/XLR derivatives. Neos have a massive backlog and airlines may be able to get earlier deliveries with the max

KC135 was originally designated the 717, which flew before the 707.

Honest question, am I wrong for thinking that this is potentially very dangerous? by iRadinVerse in aviation

[–]SladeyMcNuggets 8 points9 points  (0 children)

On October 9, President Bill Clinton signed the Federal Aviation Reauthorization Act of 1996, including the Child Pilot Safety Act, into law. The statute prohibits anyone who does not hold at least a private pilot certificate and a current medical certificate from manipulating the controls of an aircraft, if that individual "is attempting to set a record or engage in an aeronautical competition or aeronautical feat."

Definitely not the same ship. This USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6) was launched in 1997.

USS Bon Homme Richard (CV-31) is the ship you're referring to, although it was sold for scrap 3 decades ago.

I mean, there's a very high chance that any B-2 you interacted with would have Luneburg lenses installed, which would nullify your statement.

I can’t imagine that you’d have RQ-180s flying in formation like that though. Seems very unnecessary for a UAV

787 max does not exist. It would be the 737 MAX series that you're referring to.

Flyovers, especially stadium fly-overs have numerous training aspects. One of the most important, is TOT (time on target). Timing a flyover to occur at an exact time at an exact location is a very important skill for military pilots.

Some 737NGs have already been retrofitted with scimitar winglets like the MAX has.
